[Zope] Connecting to MS SQL Server

[Pieter Claerhout]

I think you overlooked the fact that we are talking about Microsoft SQL
Server
and not about MySQL. For MS SQL Server, I think you have two options:

- ZODBCDA and an ODBC driver for MS SQL on your linux box

- ZSybaseDA: should work as well, but I'm not sure which versions are
  compatible with each other and which are not. Both SQL server and Sybase
  use and understand FreeDTS.

In Zope itself, once you have the right database adapter, you can use ZSQL
methods and so on as Chris described below.

Here are some handy links:

Good luck...

Yes it works well

You need to install ZMySQLDa which you can get from zope.org... Once 
installed you create a ZMySQLDA database conection and can then use ZSQL 
methods...

Hope I've got all the terminology right :-)

Good luck
